New Competition at Robogames: Humanoid Mechwar

This promises to be a fun new category among the over 60 competitions at Robogames 2009 - Humanoid Mechwarriors battling each other with BB gun ammunition and other weapons.

Below are two videos showing preparations of a Robonova for combat in the Mechwar arena. The first one shows how motions are captured to be programmed into the remote. The second shows target testing with live ammunition.

Robogames start this Friday June 12th at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco.
